Answer:

13.37 rev/min

Explanation:

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s², centripetal acceleration (a_c) = 1.8 * g = 1.8 * 9.8 m/s² = 17.64 m/s².

r = 9 m

Centripetal acceleration (a_c) is given by:

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r} \\\\v=\sqrt{a_c*r} \\\\v=\sqrt{17.64\ m/s^2*9\ m}\\\\v=12.6\ m/s

The velocity (v) is given by:

v = ωr;  where ω is the angular velocity

Hence:

ω = v/r = 12.6 / 9

ω = 1.4 rad/s

ω = 2πN

N = ω/2π = 1.4 / 2π

N = 0.2228 rev/s

N = 13.37 rev/min

Answer:

The answer to your question is: vo = 25 m/s

Explanation:

data

a = -7.5 m/s²

d = 42 m

vf = 0 m/s

vo = ?

Formula

vf² = vo² - 2ad

Substitution

0² = vo² - 2(7.5)(42)

We clear vo from the equation

vo² = 2(7.5)(42)  

vo² = 630               simplifying

vo = 25 m/s            result

A student tests the acidity of nitric acid (HNO3) by dissolving a sample of HNO3 in a solution of liquid methane. He then uses a
DerKrebs [107]
Sorry I didn't see this before...
Okay, I see two major problems with this student's experiment:

1) Nitric acid Won't Dissolve in Methane
Nitric acid is what's called a mineral acid. That means it is inorganic (it doesn't contain carbon) and dissolves in water.
Methane is an organic molecule (it contains carbon). It literally cannot dissolve nitric acid. Here's why:
For nitric acid (HNO3) to dissolve into a solvent, that solvent must be polar. It must have a charge to pull the positively charged Hydrogen off of the Oxygen. Methane has no charge, since its carbon and hydrogens have nearly perfect covalent bonds. Thus it cannot dissolve nitric acid. There will be no solution. That leads to the next problem:

2) He's Not actually Measuring a Solution
He's picking up the pH of the pure nitric acid. Since it didn't dissolve, what's left isn't a solution—it's like mixing oil and water. He has groups of methane and groups of nitric acid. Since methane is perfectly neutral (neither acid nor base), the electronic instrument is only picking up the extremely acidic nitric acid. There's no point to what he's doing.

Does that help?

Maslowich

When an object is falling and reaches a constant velocity, the net force on the object is <em>zero</em> (it's not accelerating), and the weight of the object is equal to <em>the force of air resistance against the object</em>.  (choice-D)

The speed of sound is 346 m/s. If a sound wave travels at a frequency of 55 Hz, what would its wavelength be?​
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

6.29 meters.

Explanation:

, where v is the speed of wave and f is the frequency of wave.

We are given that ,

The speed of sound is 346 m/s.

i..e v=346 m/s

A sound wave travels at a frequency of 55 H.

i..e f=55

the wavelength would be 6.29 meters.
